Owens Corning is to sell its 49% interest in Advanced Glassfiber Yarns LLC (AGY) of Aiken, South Carolina. AGY is a joint venture between Owens Corning and Porcher Industries SA which supplies glass yarns, and has sales on US$ 300 million per year, but Owens Corning says it is selling to meet its cash flow goals.
